Coach’s Message
Aloha friends and families! Thankfully, the warm weather is finally on our side. Big thank you to all RATS who participated in the swim clinic. People are improving their skills tremendously from last summer.
From here on out, the goal is to make sure all swimmers have fins for practice each day. Please feel free to ask me where to get fins or what kind to get. This will help with coaches being able to mix up the workout routine. Ultimately, fins are an important part of skill building on swim team!
We understand people have outside obligations with school and sports. Please, try to be at practice as often as possible! Looking forward to summer.
Bless up. Bleed Green. Go Rats! (Also Go Warriors!)
-Coach Nick
P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for a swim lessons Sign-Up Genius!
